I have a 2000 f350 with factory manual hubs, and no owners manual to have the hubs unlocked do they need to be vertical or horizontal, i cant read where it used to say free on the hubs.. thanks in advance

Off top of my head not sure but try turning the axle my hand, if it turns they are unlocked, if they will not turn they are locked.

Locked is turned clockwise, and unlocked, counterclockwise. Just like a fawcett

I believe clockwise is locked and counter is unlocked. Like ju015dd said, check the axles by turning them at the u joints.

if you ever want too..pop your hub cap cover off and youll see a metal ring with 2 tabs..press the tabs together and pull the ring out then rock the hub back and forth and it will slide out..you can lock and unlock it in your hand...and no what does what..
